Just Thinking of You

I wanted to send a special card to a girlfriend, to let her know that she's on my mind. Lately I've been so busy preparing for the holidays that I haven't made the time to stop, pick-up the phone and call her, so I decided tonight that I'd make her card and drop it in the mail. Now, to get it in the mail timely; hmmmm.

Thinking of You in Pink & Black

I'm still learning to use my new camera and haven't mastered some of the settings, so this card appears to be pink and brown, though it's actually pink and black. All that aside, I really like the way this card turned out.
Enjoy and TFSB,

The Sweet Shop Challenge - SSS43

I had very agressive plans last week and decided that I would participate in multiple challenges. Well, I completed some of the challenges, but didn't get a chance to upload and post them, so I'm doing that this week. This was such a cute challenge and I enjoyed making this card.

Cricut Card Challenge 1-21-10

I decided to play along with the Cricut Card Challenge this week. I used the Mini Monograms cartridge to cut the circles, in different dimension. I used a "Thinking of You" stamp that I've had for a while and some paper from my stash. I really had a good time with the "S" card and will be playing along again.
Enjoy and TFSB,

Brother, I miss you

I have a brother in Iraq, a twin brother to be exact, and boy do I miss him. Though we talk several times a week, there's nothing like having him at home. The other night, after I finished talking with him, I was missing him so much, I decided to make him a card and mail it the next day. He'll enjoy the card, though he won't admit it. I hope it brightens his day, the same way hearing his voice brightens mine.

1st Annual 2 Sketches 4 You Ultimate Card Showdown

Here is my take on the 2S4U sketch for the card showdown. I wasn't real sure about what I wanted to do with this sketch, but as I started playing, the card just came together. I think it's very festive and summery; I like the way it turned out.
Thanks for stopping by.

Thinking of You - CardPattern #16

I feel off the challenge wagon for a while, because I got busy with other projects and preparing for classes. But, I looked at the Card Pattern challenge for this week and really liked the sketch. It worked to my advantage because I needed to make a card to send me a church member, so I combined the need and the sketch and here's what I created.

Class project

The ladies in my Sunday School class will be starting a random acts of kindness (RAK) project in June and I thought I would get a head start on my cards. Here's one of them that I made, now only 11 more to go, but they will all be equally as fun to make.
Thanks for stopping by.

Thinking of You

I know it's been a while since I've posted anything, but it's been really busy lately, I was preparing for a card class at By Design Scrapbook last week and I'm preparing for a scrapbooking class I'll be teaching next weekend. I will try to play catch up tonight. Here's the first card: a bright and sunny "thinking of you".
Enjoy and thanks for stopping by.

Thinking of You

I know it's been a while since I've posted anything, but I decided to take a class this semester and it has occupied a good bit of time these last four months. I have taken the final exam and passed, now on to studying for the national certification exam. I will try to sneak some scrapbooking in, when I can.

Now that I've caught you up, here's a card I made for my girlfriend. She was going through some medical challenges and we were talking, praying and hoping that everything would be okay. I'm glad to report that it wasn't cancer, and the surgery was successful.

Girly girl cards

I saw this georgous paper at By Design and couldn't wait to create some girly-girl cards with it. I had so much fun with this paper, that I made 2 styles.

Fabulous Finds

Here's another card from the Fabulous Finds cartridge. This card reminds me of a cold night, with a tall mug of cocoa, a flannel throw and a scrapbooking magazine. Doesn't that just make you feel cozy all over?

Thinking of You

Tonight I didn't have any real agenda, just thought I'd play with some of my paper and the Fabulous Finds Cricut cartridge, one of my favorites. I wanted to do some shaped cards, so here's the first one I came up with. I made two of them, so I'll post the second card on a separate post.

Thinking in Pink and Black

When you think of me, do it in bold colors and patterns. Remember to always add a touch of ribbon and flowers.
